5.1.2 TEACH-IN editing
It is basically the same as the previous option (editing in CNC language), except when it comes to
programming coordinates.
This option shows the current position values of each one of the axes of the machine.
It permits to enter the axes position values from the CNC keyboard (as when editing in CNC
language) or, also, use the TEACH-IN editing format as described next.
1. Jog the machine axes with the jogging keys or with the electronic handwheel up to the desired
position.
2. Press the softkey corresponding to the axis to be defined.
3. The CNC will assign to this axis its current physical position as the program position value.
Both editing coordinate defining methods may be used indistinctly, even while defining a block.
When the block being edited has no information (editing area empty), the [ENTER] key can be
pressed. In this case, the CNC will generate a new block with the current position values of all the
axes of the machine.
This block will be added automatically to the program and it will be inserted after the block indicated
by the cursor.
The cursor will position over the new edited block and the editing area (window) will be cleared so
another block can be written.
When the position values of all the axes are not to be programmed in this fashion, the CNC permits
to select the desired axes. To do this, in this operating mode and within the "EDITOR PARAMETERS"
option there is a softkey for "TEACH-IN AXES"
Execution of the edited block
When editing a program in TEACH-IN mode, It will be possible to execute the block just edited.
Once the desired block has been edited, press [START] to execute that block. Once the block has
been executed, press [ENTER] to enter it in the program or [ESC] not to.
An example of application may be to create a roughing program to machine a large part while
roughing the part with MDI movements.
